Basic Fetal Monitoring Course
What will I learn?
Sharpen your medical skills with our Basic Fetal Monitoring Course, made for health workers who want to get good at understanding how to read a baby's heartbeat before it's born. You'll learn all about how the heartbeat changes (variability), when it speeds up (accelerations), and when it slows down (decelerations), and how to use this information to make good decisions for the patient. You'll get practical skills in spotting normal and worrying heartbeat patterns, talking about what you see, and suggesting what to do next. This course, which is short but of high quality, will help you take better care of your patients with confidence and accuracy.
